 Barbaros Kıskaç Joins the “What’s Happening in the Industry?” Talk!


Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU) Faculty of Fine Arts (FFA) Graphic Design Department continues to connect its students with experienced professionals in the industry. As part of this effort, a seminar titled “What’s Happening in the Industry?” featured ArtRecord Studio Director Barbaros Kıskaç as the guest speaker. The event took place on December 20, 2024, at the Firnas Auditorium with a large turnout.


The seminar was moderated by IGU FFA Graphic Design Department Research Assistant Ceren İren. During his talk, Barbaros Kıskaç shared insights about his experiences at his media company, his professional journey in the industry, and the projects he worked on during his university years. His discussion on current industry dynamics, creative processes, and essential points for graphic design students to consider in their career planning drew significant interest from the audience.

Kıskaç specifically emphasized the impact of technological transformations in the media industry on graphic design, providing students with valuable advice on building a creative career. He highlighted the importance of work discipline, being open to innovation, and the value of teamwork.

The seminar concluded with a Q&A session, where students had the opportunity to ask Kıskaç about job opportunities, design processes, and challenges they might face in their professional lives. This interactive segment allowed students to gain valuable insights into the industry.

In a rapidly evolving field like graphic design, the importance of such industry-focused events continues to grow. These events enable students to access the knowledge and connections they need to succeed in their professions while also offering them a chance to learn about current industry practices. IGU FFA Graphic Design Department is committed to providing both theoretical and practical education to its students, strengthening the link between academia and the industry.
